Answer:

1- The correct answer is A. Sojourner Truth was a leader and speaker for both abolition and women's rights.

2- The correct answer is B. Dorothea Dix's study of prison conditions in Massachusetts and Europe changed American beliefs as she showed that mental illness is treatable.

3- The correct answer is C. The growing popularity of newspapers, magazines, and books in the United States during the 19th century contributed to the spread of Enlightenment ideas among ordinary Americans.

4- The correct answer is B. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin stirred outrage against slavery.

5- The correct answer is C. The success of other reform programs made women think they could finally do something about women's rights.

Explanation:

1- Sojourner Truth was an abolitionist and activist for women's rights. Truth was born under slavery, but escaped with her daughter in 1826. After turning to the courts to recover her son, she became the first black woman to win a trial against a white man. She is widely known for her speech "Ain't I a Woman?", pronounced in 1851 at the "Ohio Women's Rights Convention" in Akron, Ohio.

2- In 1840 and 1841, Dix examined in Massachusetts the placement of mentally ill from the lower class. Until then, mentally ill people were housed in prisons or public poorhouses, depending on the degree of danger. Dix's study revealed that ill-treatment in underfunded and unregulated institutions was usual.

As a result of her efforts, a law was passed to establish a state mental hospital in Worcester. In the years that followed, Dix traveled through all the eastern coastal states of the United States, despite her vulnerable and prolonged breaks of enforcing health. She documented the conditions of the mentally handicapped, presented the findings to federal state legislators, and used much energy to work with committees to develop new laws and licensing regulations for mental hospitals. Mentally ill people should not only be admitted, but also cared for and medically treated. She visited and described in the period from 1840 to 1854 over 300 prisons and 500 poor houses in the United States.

3- The growing popularity of newspapers, magazines, and books in the United States in the 19th century made the American population receive much influence from the ideas of the Enlightenment, coming from Europe and the American upper classes educated there. In this way, the whole society adopted a republican and revolutionary thought.

4- Uncle Tom's cabin was the best-selling novel in the nineteenth century - and the second most purchased book of the time after the Bible - and was written with the intention of giving more impetus to the abolitionist cause in the United States before the Civil War.

5- Over time, women struggled to have equal capacity and rights as men. Calling themselves or not as feminists, with the passage of time they were taking the first steps towards the conformation of the feminist movement.
